People see you sing in a certain way, in a long dress, and you are put on a pedestal like you have never made a mistake in your life.

Everything in my career is my decision - every picture, every outfit. You get one chance at this, and I never saw myself as being a puppet.

I've only ever wanted to be a singer; I never wanted to be famous.

I've been lucky that I've performed with a lot of the classical people I've wanted to work with so I'd like to do something that people didn't see coming. Like Madonna, or being Welsh - the Tom Jones thing. Or somebody suggested N-Dubz - that would be brilliant!

I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now.

Being a question on 'The Weakest Link,' that was quite a moment.

With 'Believe' bringing really big success for me outside of the U.K. for the first time, it meant I have been touring around the world and that led to a gap from the studio. I really feel like the gap has done me the world of good. Throughout that time I was able to collect songs that I really loved.
